Two out of three at Wrigley ain’t bad. Once again, I didn’t see the game so I can’t really offer commentary beyond the obvious, i.e., we needed that one. Instead, today we’ll talk about something I’ve been thinking about for a while: proper allocation of available resources. The other day one of my regulars wrote [...]

More Bullet Points
Hate to do another one of these, but I’m totally out of gas. Just a few things to mention, so let’s get to them. Not to belabor the point, but I have yet to speak with anyone who isn’t completely baffled by Kerry Robinson’s presence on the Padres roster. Can’t we talk Marvell Wynne out [...]
Mailbag
Friday was supposed to be mailbag day, but somebody was pretty bummed and beat after Thursday night’s debacle against the Devil Rays. The Padres are not playing inspired or intelligent baseball right now, and I’m having trouble writing inspired or intelligent analysis. This is the first real bad streak they’ve had all year and it [...]
Buzzkill
Don’t shoot the messenger, but the recent track record of high school shortstops taken in the first round isn’t real encouraging. Check this out (stats are for 2004 unless otherwise noted): Name Tm Yr No Status Burrus,Josh Atl 01 29 .310/.366/.474 in A-ball, moved to OF Cameron,Troy Atl 97 29 .232/.288/.379 in Indy ball, moved [...]
Mailbag
I don’t have a stupid little story to lead in with today, so let’s get right to the letters. Seems we touched a few nerves in the May 24 entry. This makes us very happy. From Jeff #287: Damn, Geoff. You hit the nail on the head with every one of your points. I couldn’t [...]
May Recap
I’m more than a little disgusted after the last two games against Colorado. Adam Eaton actually pitched pretty well Monday night. One mistake to Jeromy Burnitz did him in. But two runs combined against Jason Jennings and Aaron Cook? Another bases-loaded, one-out situation that results in zero runs? Justin Germano and Khalil Greene looking like [...]
Not Your Padre’s Padres
Need proof? Two simple questions: Last season, if the Padres went 7-5 against three teams with .500 or better records on their longest road trip of the year, would you have been happy? This year, now that the Padres have done just that, are you happy? Good road trip, no question, but the Padres easily [...]
Guilty of Possession…Sole Possession
Finally the Padres managed to win a game when the Dodgers lost one. Down 3-1 going into the ninth, the Pads looked like they were going to continue with the NL West’s theme of "anything you can do, I can do worse" before Khalil Greene knocked a two-run bomb to send the game into extra [...]
Another One Bites the Dust
I was out with family last night and missed the game. Looks like I didn’t miss much. It’d be nice to see Adam Eaton start to pitch like he’s capable of doing. The best that could be said of Wednesday’s performance is that his six innings allowed the bullpen to recover from Ismael Valdez’ disaster [...]
Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda
Once again, I find myself disappointed when in past years I might have been happy. Three wins in six games on the East Coast sounds pretty good, especially when one of your opponents is in first place in their division. But every one of those games in Pennsylvania was winnable. The Padres should have swept [...]
